- Again obvious, but Stoptech pads are NOT meant for tracking, especially with good street tires. Got decent bite for all of the warmup and the next lap, and my braking zones got massive after. My sportier pads didn't come in the mail in time...
- My friend rode with me and put up his GoPro, I will have some in-car footage next week. There was an "ooh shit" moment when a Whiteout FR-S with black RPF1's took a little swerve near the back
- I hope that STi is OK
- I literally almost ran out of fuel on the way to the highway...
- The A/T held up perfectly fine, and WOT shifts sounds pretty nice with the windows down 
- Definitely will attend the next day |
Last year I had to cut my last session short because the gas light came on after the first lap, good sign you're having a fun day! There is sometimes gas for sale at the big track (definitely if there's an event on), it's not cheap, but it's cheaper than a tow truck deliverying a few liters
I was out in the red FRS that was auto, I was shocked how aggressive it was with downshifts!
